Greg Peters, defending, said Antonia was in a local shop in March when she was approached by somebody who said: "Congrats on your baby."

"The person then showed her a post on Facebook from Mr Wilmott in the delivery room holding a baby," he said.

Antonia went to Webbs Garage in Southover, Somerset, to confront Nathan - and she found another woman there who claimed to be in a relationship with him.

Mr Peters told the court: "Confused, she went to her partner's garage with the intention of finding out what was going on and whilst there she met a lady who said she was also in a relationship with the complainant.

"She became angry and accepts remonstrating with her partner when he returned in his tow truck and kicked out at it.

"Mr Wilmott grabbed hold of her and there was a tussle between both of them."

Wilmott claimed the small dent to the side of a recovery vehicle would cost £2,400 to repair.

But after hearing Antonia's story, magistrates ordered her to pay £50 compensation.
